The Laptop Sessions: “Evil Disappointment” (New Music - Indie Music)

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

By Jeff Copperthite:

Welcome to an event so awesome, it can only come once a week - Original Wednesday! Today, I bring you the first Laptop Sessions edition that is covering something from a great album from FMP’s own Masters of the Universe. Their new album is called “Homestead’s Revenge” (Link to the FMP store the site to buy and hear it!).

The song I have chosen to cover is “Evil Disappointment”, written by Mike Fusco. I got the chance to hear the song before the release of the album (well, only two days before), and I get to play drums when we play it live (or better yet, I “let” Jim play the bass!). This song has a great guitar progression, and the strumming style fits the songs’ lyrics and Mike’s writing style to the tee.

Just as Jim and Chris have reviewed my album “Greenlight”, I will be writing a review of this album as well in the near future.

Meanwhile, enjoy this addition to the growing Original Wednesday library here at FMP’s The Laptop Sessions! Stay tuned for another great song from Jim tomorrow, and come back Saturday for another video from America!

Video Blog: How Songwriter Jim Fusco Writes a Song - Part 3, a video documentary

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

By Jim Fusco:

A few years ago, I did a video documentary for my MySpace blog (http://myspace.com/jimfusco) showing how I go through the songwriting process.

This particular video shows how I develop a chord progression, a tune, and lyrics for a song from scratch.

Of course, I don’t write many of my songs this way- this was a long and tedious process. But, it’s interesting to see how I began the writing process in Part 1, completed the writing in Part 2, and played live for the first time ever (a few days later) in Part 3.

I hope you enjoy my mini-documentary and will check out my other “How I” videos, like “How I Record A Song” and “How I Develop A Song”!

Video Blog: How Songwriter Jim Fusco Develops A Song

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

By Jim Fusco:

Hello and welcome to another Jim Fusco video podcast! I’ve been working on my new album, “Halfway There”, and thought I would give an update on my progress while also talking about how I go about developing a song.

I think there’s some interesting tidbits in here about my creative process, which differs GREATLY from my friends’ creative process.

I’d love to hear comments about how you work out songs and your thoughts of how I’m approaching songwriting!

To keep getting updates, please subscribe to my videos, and visit the blog at http://laptopsessions.com .

Also, you can get the new album, when it comes out, at my Official Website at http://jimfusco.com . Thanks for watching!
